Simplest Silage tank solution with deck pump out
Просмотров 59Год назад
A very simple and clean solution with only two valves. This is a Diablo 80l tank which saves a lot of mucking about making your own sealed fittings on a home made tank.

After the tee is a new ball valve to isolate the system when not pumping out.
